A Classic Design Using Posted for You
The Posted for You Bundle is another one of my Annual Catalog favorites. For some reason I have always been drawn to postal images and shapes. Maybe they’re just fun to create with… I don’t know.
This card, however, is not screaming creativity! Instead its a classic design: three in a row. This one is always a good layout for smaller images. And you can mix it up with staggered images or diagonal images. It doesn’t have to be three items in a single row. (see my butterfly card) Although, my card is not just three images in a single row, but the same image repeated three times! Not exactly groundbreaking but I think its a really nice card that any one could make or copy.

Simple Stamping with Forever Ferns
Today I have a simple stamping card to share, using the Forever Ferns stamp set. At my new catalog open house earlier this summer, one of the Make & Take cards featured this new set and it was a hit. So what better way to say Thank You to my guests than to mail them a Forever Ferns #simplestamping card?

Playing with Greens
The Forever Greenery suite is definitely one of my favorite suites in this year’s catalog. I really like the Distinktive style of stamps, and the images work so well together and are so versatile. Plus, with the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper it is so easy to play with greens! And I like the color green, so there’s one more reason to love this suite.
For this card I started with the two greens in the DSP strip I chose: Soft Sea Foam and Just Jade.

Happy Birthday to You in Watercolor
The more I play with the Happy Birthday to You stamp set, the more I like it. It’s one of this year’s Sale-A-Bration sets, which you can get for free with a $50 order. I used watercolor with inks for this card.
The card is a simple, classic layout. (more…)

Timeless Tulips Meet Parisian Blossoms
While I’ve been playing with the Timeless Tulips stamps, I’ve been trying them with different designer series papers. For this card, I used products from the Parisian Blossoms Suite from the Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog.
This time, I wanted to try stamping the tulip and adding shading with sponge daubers. For color inspiration I selected this background paper from the Parisian Blossoms specialty designer series paper. It’s Petal Pink in color with a lovely line pattern in Cherry Cobbler. I love this paper, but I also picked it because I would not have put those two colors together. (more…)
